Garage conversion heating

What is the best option for heating a garage being turned into an office?

The garage is separate from the house so connecting to the boiler would be tricky.

Bit open ended question IMO.

A start would be ; heat loss calculations
how many years occupancy for this purpose.

Is the gas (meter etc) inthe garage ? Then a gas convector would be good. Just needs a small flue on an outside wall.

I'm not sure how to do heat loss calculations? The roof and walls will be insulated.

The garage is 40-50 yards away from the house and gas meter. So probably looking for something that can be independent?

Thanks, will take a look at them. Are they expensive to run?
